Was diagnosed breat cancer in Oct 2021.Had Lumpectomy and surrounding lymphnodes removed.Went yesterday 27th Jan to see what was next.Have bern offered 5 days of radiation as they caught it really early and Tamoxifen.Have been given choice whether to have radiation or not as luckily is is very earlh.Not sure what to do and only seeing bad thi ngs about Tamoxifen.I have Agoraphobia and high aniety and on antidepressants which I will be on for life.Anyone have positive reviews on Tamoxifen.Really scared to use..
That pretty much sums up my experience with it too...increase in hot flushes, but none of the other side effects. I changed to Letrozole a week ago because it works better with my Palbociclib apparently, which I've just started taking from my first dose yesterday.
When you're going through hell, don't stop!
Thankyou..calming down a bit hearing some positive results x
Hi has anyone had any bad side effects with anastrozole. I've had mine for 6 weeks now but cant pluck up the courage to take them .I have other problems with knee and hip and thinking these will make my problems worse,I know we are all different how we get side effects but I do need some encouragement thankyou.
Been taking anastrazole for just river a month. Slight knee pain initially, few hot flushes but feel fine now
